ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

What is the Psychotherapy Practicum?

Live sessions, supervision, case conference format — for those who already know the theory.
International IPAS/BPA certificate, QR-verified. 864 hours.

The Psychotherapy Practicum is designed for professionals who have completed a foundational psychology course and have a solid theoretical base, but lack the confidence to work with real clients. The programme minimises theory and maximises practice.

The programme runs for 12 months at 72 hours per month: 36 hours of live sessions (role-plays, case analysis, case conferences) + 36 hours of video recordings. Total: 864 hours. Additionally, 2 individual supervision sessions are held monthly throughout the year.

Those who successfully complete the programme receive an international IPAS (International Psychotherapy Accreditation Society) and BPA certificate — a QR-verified document recognised outside Azerbaijan.

  • A foundational psychology course is required (mandatory prerequisite)
  • Groups of maximum 8 participants — each receives individual attention
  • Live demonstration of real sessions with Dr. Ragimov
  • Practice conducting your own sessions under supervision
  • 2 individual supervision sessions per month throughout the year
  • Accumulating hours towards the IPAS/BPA certificate
